Even though you might not like hearing lectures from your parents, you should always pay close attention to what they say. You never know when one of the seemingly most insignificant pieces of advice could save your life. That’s sort of what happened here.
When this guy was on his way back home from college, his mother told him to watch out for weirdos.

Apparently, she had mistaken the OP’s car for her friends, which was the exact same make and model.
